International hot spot prospects, I am the fish in the pond

On the verge of Sweden's formal accession to NATO, Sweden signed a defense cooperation agreement with the United States, which will allow the United States access to all of Sweden's military bases, saying the agreement will strengthen regional security.

Swedish Defense Minister Pal Jonsson said the agreement signed in Washington on Tuesday "will provide Sweden with U.S. support in the event of a war or crisis." The agreement, signed at the Pentagon by Jonsson and US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, said that the Swedish armed forces would become even stronger by joining NATO.

Austin said the agreement "sends a strong signal that we remain committed to addressing security challenges together." The United States reached a similar agreement in 2021 with Sweden's western neighbor Norway, a member of NATO, and is currently negotiating such an agreement with two other Nordic countries, NATO members Finland and Denmark.

Last week, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said he had told Turkey that the time had come for Sweden to become a member of NATO's military alliance. AI assistant creation season
